R.I.P. means Rest In PEACE!

According to Cassy Fiano at Wizbang, the WestBoro Baptist Church is at it again. Now, if you aren't familiar with them I'll readers digest it for you.

WestBoro Baptist Church is an extreme Baptist community in Topeka, Kansas full of ill mannered, heartless people that IN NO WAY illustrate christian values or characteristics. The pastor of the WestBoro Baptist Church is Fred Phelps and he and his "gang" of fellow gay/lesbian, war hero hating, United States bashing lunatics are more known for their consistent protesting at soldiers funerals and gay/lesbian parades and funerals. Apparently every crime and injustice committed in the world is due to homosexuality according to them. To learn more about this crazy cult (http://www.godhatesfags.com/)... do I really need to say more with a URL like that?)

On the WBC's web site they have each event listed at which they will protest and in an explanation on why.

Hopefully the Patriot Guards riders, an amazing group of bikers who follow the horrible WBC and counter protest them, will attend Brianna's funeral service and comfort her already mourning family from the devilish cold hearts of the WBC.

Here’s the thing – who started this whole demonstrating at funerals thing?I don’t even think I’ve heard of it happening in the UK.

It’s wrong on so many levels and goes against simple human decency.If someone had issue with something that the dead person had done – how stupid do they look protesting to a dead person?

But whatever that the deceased has done – has nothing to do with a distraught family.

The thought that we’ve arrived at a point whereby we actually require a law to prevent these things happening is unbelievably disturbing – not to mention what it says about society.We are free to protest – but these things come with responsibility. And if any believes for one minute that protesting at a funeral is their right – then they need locking up!!!!

I really couldn't care less what Phelps political stand is. I may have my mother in me, but I'm not her. I just got her good looks and charm ;) What Phelps and his family are doing is wrong in any way you spin it, and I would point it out if they were republican or democrat.
